Working in the hospital isn’t always enjoyable. Some days nothing goes right and then it’s very frustrating.

Working with older people is much more difficult. They take much longer to get better. A lot of older patients don’t want to leave hospital at all. They feel safe there and they have lots of friends. When they go home, they feel very lonely. They miss their friends. Sometimes nurses go and visit them at home when they can. But it’s hard to get the time.

Nowadays the system of payment gradually changes. People start to use debit cards instead of cash to make payment. However, there are still arguments about the use of debit cards as a method of payment.

Well, if you use the card, you will say that the card is so practical. You don’t need to count meticulously (carefully) how much you should pay. When paying using cash, people are afraid of making mistakes in counting the banknote for both the payment and the change. With debit card, the mistake is made smaller.

Moreover you should know that debit cards are safer than money. Suppose you bring a lot of money when traveling. If it was lost or stolen, you would be left with nothing in your hands. However, if you brought a debit card, you could just phone the bank which issues the card to block it.

On the other hand, people who disagree on the use of debit card will say that its use is so limited. When you buy something in a traditional market, or a vendor, for example, can you pay using debit card? Of course not.

Another thing is that, if you want to use the card, you should make a purchase at minimum amount. If you make less than the minimum transaction, you cannot make use of the card.

Now, after you know these facts, will you use the card? Yes, you can use it, but remember to bring cash in your purse / wallet, just in case.
